<h4><a name = "tag_000_000_246">&nbsp;</a>NAME</h4><blockquote>

</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_000_247">&nbsp;</a>SYNOPSIS</h4><blockquote>
<pre><code>

#include &lt;<a href="curses.h.html">curses.h</a>&gt;

int curs_set(int <i>visibility</i>);
</code>
</pre>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_000_248">&nbsp;</a>DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
The
<i>curs_set()</i>
function sets the appearance of the cursor based on the value of
<i>visibility</i>:
<p><table  bordercolor=#000000 border=1 align=center><tr valign=top><th align=center><b>Value of <i>visibility</i></b>
<th align=center><b>Appearance of Cursor</b>
<tr valign=top><td align=center>0
<td align=left>Invisible
<tr valign=top><td align=center>1
<td align=left>Terminal-specific normal mode
<tr valign=top><td align=center>2
<td align=left>Terminal-specific high visibility mode
</table>
<p>
The terminal does not necessarily support all the above values.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_000_249">&nbsp;</a>RETURN VALUE</h4><blockquote>
If the terminal supports the cursor mode specified by
<i>visibility</i>,
then
<i>curs_set()</i>
returns the previous cursor state.  Otherwise, the function returns ERR.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_000_250">&nbsp;</a>ERRORS</h4><blockquote>
No errors are defined.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_000_000_251">&nbsp;</a>SEE ALSO</h4><blockquote>
